Can an APP LIMIT the DOWNLOAD speed of a stream? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not a developer, and if this is in the wrong place or not allowed please move or delete.
I have a need and possibly many others too, to keep my phone from using full LTE speed download. I would like to LIMIT by number the data rate at which my phone operates from time to time. Could an app be developed for this kind of functionality (not sure what is capable at the app level)? Thanks.

Absolutely you are in the wrong place...

Maybe switch it to lower speed from data network in settings? Most would want to boost their speed. ?

Sorry, sounded like a great "mod" for custom android development to me

Yea I tried that, forcing to only connect to 3G etc. But that doesn't/didn't do the trick. I have a video streaming app that looks at how good your connection is to decide what stream to give you. I do not want it to stream full HD, or even HD on 3G. I want it to be lower res or audio only. So I need to force the connection to be slower.
I saw an app on the play store but it didn't seem to do the trick. So I thought I'd ask in the "wrong forum" if this was even possible. Now that I'm here (in the correct spot) doesnt anyone know of something like this that works? Thanks.

Could you be more specific what you want to do? Maybe there's already an app that can do what you want

Not sure how it could be more clear, but I'll try.
App in the middle that throttles the bandwidth allowed to another app. Ie. allow only 250kbs to appX. On an LTE connection that has much more available.

I found this app but isn't limit a specific app, just limits the bandwidth in general https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oxplot.bradybound

DorianX, you are amazing! This is perfect. I had only found one other that said it would do it...needed root which I have, but never worked/asked for root.
This app installed, asked for root and YouTube downloads at 100kbs now at 144p res. PERFECT!!!!!!
Thank you so much. Appreciate you sticking with it and helping me out. All in what you search for...I had done some looking but must not have had the right words.

You're welcome, I'm just a good searcher [emoji1]

I didn't even see you found the other one I had found....BWR. I couldn't get it to work for me...but certainly said it would do what I wanted. Maybe others will have luck with it. I found the first one to work perfectly!
Thanks again!

More apps in multiwindow

Is there any way to put more apps in the multiwindow drawer just like we used to do in the note 4?
I find this splitview with this few apps pretty much useless and is one of the main reasons I got the edge plus in the first place.
Thanks in advance
Anyone?

Multiwindow commander , its a couple of euros but its totally worth it

How to boost volume in Bluetooth or earphones?

As the title says. My BT headphones are real quiet same as any earphones I plug in.
I downloaded a magisk module to boost volume but did nothing.
I have installed viper but no difference there either.

Are you rooted?? Those apps won't help unless you're rooted from my understanding

Worked perfectly for me, no ads, nothing. Just works.

Can anyone port always on display to g903f?

Store applications are not very good, and I think many would like to have this functionality.
If anyone offers it we would be delighted
